Kempny and Jerabek in the lineup again. Haven't noticed that the latter of the 2 so much but Kempny has been terrible. Our team was better with Djoos and Bowey in the lineup.

Bowey is crap. Do research before commenting. We're not scoring, which is typically attributed to the offense

  Have you watched Kempny play? He is better at moving the puck than Bowey but he doesn't know how to play defense. He has been solely responsible for atleast one goal in 6 of the 7 games he has played. Even Boiwey wasn't that bad. Kempny has zero points and is minus 4 in 7 games even though he has been somewhat sheltered. You should really do your research before you post.

  Have you watched him play? He has been directly responsible for at least one goal in 6 of 7 games. His defensive zone coverage hasnt been very good. You can't blame his team mates for him losing his man. He isn't known as a defensive stud. I did my homework on this guy when we got him. Didnt see much of him before that. If you disagree, thats fine but I dont think the hostility and name calling is really necessary.

  Willy gets no love from the refs. Can't believe the Sharks haven't had any penalties yet. Should have been a couple for sure.

Pretty sound defensive game. Only gave up 24 shots and not many high scoring chances. The Sharks are a bit offensively challenged so I wasnt expecting a shootout.

I missed the game too. My damned DVR did not record it. This has happened A LOT lately if I am not monitoring it. I saw that we did win 2-0.  Fortunately I have the chance to watch it tomorrow around noon on replay.

Last game Willy came back in the next period with a nice gash in his forehead. I'm sure it must have been even uglier today as the bruising set in.  He did play the rest of the game though.

I've been seeing odd stuff like that too.  A half hour ago I went to watch a video on YouTube and it said the video was not available, but the sound of the video was playing. I was unable to pause it, but it was most definitely playing in that tab. I could see and turn off the sound in that tab to prove it. I never saw that before. Weird. It was a conservative video of the type YouTube seems to be censoring lately.

A hard hit puck got deflected by one of our own guys and it hit Willy right in the face shield in an upward motion and cut him between the eyes. He fell to the ice, jumped up as he grabbed his face and bolted straight to the locker room as fast as he could skate and run. It happened near the end of the period and he came out the next period with a nasty looking injury, but he played the rest of the game.  I imagine the bruising to come was even nastier.

   He took a puck in the face. Deflected off a stick of one of his team mates and went straight up under his visor and got him in the forehead. They put a bandaid on and he came back. He is one tough guy. We need more guys like Wilson. I think Wilson has become a fan favorite on this team. I know he is climbing up the ladder as a favorite for me. I've always liked him but he has elevated his game this season. He has been very impressive.
